KardiaMobile Personal EKG Monitors Review

Today I'm reviewing a pair of Kardia personal EKG monitors that allow users to keep an eye on their own heart health no matter where they may go. Come see!

Alivecor is the parent company. Both products are KardiaMobile by Alivecor. The difference is one is a single lead and the other is a 6 Lead.

Can these devices tell you if you are having an actual heart event or just gas pains? And, do you need a phone with service or will an old android 3G phone be okay?

I read other reviews where you can only send and save the results of this if you take out a subscription at a cost of around $30/mo US. Can you confirm this?

I have had multiple heart issues for many yrars. While this devise may give you what they advertise. I am not a trained medical professional. When I go into arrhythmia I check my blood pressure and heart rate. There I know what I reading and call my doctor on call or 911 if my readings go into a danger area.

This looks great. I'm not looking for it to diagnose anything. I simply want to see the rhythm of my heart; and if it's out of sorts I know to contact my doctor. I recently had afib but had no symptoms other than shortness of breath. That could have been anything. When I went to the ER and while I was being admitted, they put one of those fingertip oximeters that showed my pulse was erratic. The doctor said I probably had afib and they did further test to confirm that. My heart was shocked back into rhythm and I've been fine since. But the idea of seeing my heart rhythm for what this thing cost ($79) seems reasonable. If someone tells me I won't be able to see an erratic heart rhythm, then I'll look somewhere else? thanks.

I get at least an EKG 2 to 3 times a year and and your telling me all i have to do is put 2 figures on those pads bullshit and you can tell when your in Atrial fibrillation.

No it does not work with Android phone app I bought one and it does not work with my phone save your money it's a scam

[seasonshomestead]

Will this connect with a Samsung smart phone?

[hamzak]

Can it detect an irregular heart rate?

[ericc]

Such a stupid product as if you know what AFIB is all about. Don't waste your money on this trash

[Rescue-mtfl]

Save your money. This thing will only identify simply rhythms you can detect with checking your pulse or using the pulse device on your smart phone. Bradycardia is only a slow rate, tachycardia is a rapid rate and a-fib is a rate with no coordinated pattern of rhythm. You don’t need this thing to tell you those. Total BS product.

I downloaded the App and I see that it is asking for some information, whether I am male or female, which entity and how old I am.
Can I use it on other people?
